IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS SKIP THIS POST..just trying to spread advice around given to me

SKIP this post if it does not apply or you don't care just in case someoneis also setting up what they can before the DIY NO ROI Titan lands on theirdoorstep

a reprint (partial) of what I posted on www.kncminer.com forums...on my kludge efforts to meet KNCpower supply (you need TWO per Titan now) and the fact they are NOT sending Y cables with theTitans shipping for 2 weeks TM BFL... lol

anyway here is the link to www.kncminer.com forums...to say it is a BIT lively over there inrunning around....tearing hear out weeping and moaning is an understatement. and that isjust the KNC Firmware developers....as to the customers it is worse.....me I'm tryingto move on and consider my NO ROI Titan as more of a future doorstop/art piece...ie Toy.

NOTE: the thread is entitled Titan (2) Seasonic SS-860SP2 860w Platinum before I had to change to the corsair 1200i'sgo to 3rd post down on why/how I switched....confusing I know but can't change title or delete that thread inthat it had a reply...but still the seasonics post and seasonic psu's should also work fine with Titan imho

here is the link..the title is misleading see below had to change power supply types

Anyway may help someone in same boat with power supplies needed and cables needed in that KNC isnot suppling Y cables with the shipped Titans ..which imho can lead to the usual power plug burnissues that have plagued the Neptunes ...and again I recommend if you are into this completeFUD / reaming that KNC is doing to its 1st batch esp Titan customers go to the KNC forums withpopcorn ..it is an ugly mess

In summary the post above is the use of 2 corsair 1200i units (that in one of the threads Kurt saysKNC has tested with Titan ..although nothing but 2 generic 850w is their full plug on power supplies to getin their actual tech pages.....no brand names are mentioned because no testing with them yet imho)

also www.shakemods.com y cable long 16awg adapters...to hopefully limit load burnt plug problemslike the Neptunes had..and according to the KNC forums Titan's are ALSO having

and the usual mythical FUD KNC is touting about unicorn firmware to mine scrypt N etc

anyway for those doing a 2nd power supply scramble for their Titan and Y connectors....due to what you see here on the same plug burn as neptunes...they still may burn plugs...but I figurethe Y adapter 16awg gives me a better shot then orig cables of it NOT being at the Titan endor the power supply end themselves for the burn ..just if it comes to pass if i'm lucky the Yadapter will eat the burn (man good design their knc sheesh)

3) I'd also suggest everyone with a NO ROI Titan setup something similar and probably get a nice triplite iso surge protector220v like this on amazon.com..european version is best you can get a 220v with reg plug but dangerous in use if you pluga 220v into it...so again the euro version comes with proper plug to go right to insert on standard PSU

comes with one appropriate cord for the euro design.....to the power supply... you can get more cords on amazonI'm using 1 220v per psu and one of these on each psu (overkill maybe but have the 220v sockets) for a total of 2 iso triplite units

so covered what I can cover till the DIY NO ROI Titan lands on my porch

then more FUD/Dismay and disappointment ..but You can only control what you can before it arrives

Dear valued customers,With much regret, we unfortunately have to announce that despite our biggest efforts, it is unlikely that we are able to meet our target shipping date for September. Instead, it will slip into October.

still no luck even after upgrading fw to 1.02 and resetting to factory defaults... this is a total disaster, lost 2 days of mining revenue on this piece of crap so far... i can tell the fw is buggy as hell, even if i reduce to 50mhz it still can't handle measly 10+mh and restarts...

Don't worry, you aren't alone. I'd be surprised if those incompetent fucks at KNC have sent 20 out so far.

You should be happy not to be a guinea pig !!Those who have got Titans (like me), have spend days in frustration to get it working....

Two problems:1) Not all cubes work well (they dump BFGminer), and it costs a hell of a time to find the problem ones.2) when you found a working set, you will have trouble to find a Pool which can handle your speed. Most of them especially the Multi-switching pools are not usable.

All in all I lost at least 4 days of my life, and have 2 Cubes who need to RMA.

i have 4 titans up atm, and two of them is not so stable , they are keeping restart BFGminer or speed drop.only two titans are running smooth, still wasting life on them

try these pools.. all worked for me so far.. also make sure to keep resetting to factory defaults once you've upgraded fw to 1.02.. not sure what fixed my earlier problem so i did these things:- changed ports- kept resetting to factory defaults of both advanced page and the system

problems I can understand...silence rather then keeping the customer informed and no either work around or compensation to address problem is a big red giant BFL type flag imho

guess this is what they ment

"Brace for Impact. Titan ships."

Good to know KNC is ZERO out of Three on products in 2014 that will NEVER get ROI.

Think they care about us pesky customers of equipment anymore and have not moved on to arctic cloud endeavors....well they have not changed the prices on their product page from what I can tell in three months..the prices for what you get are a joke.

Quite the change from the company I purchased a miner from last summer. Paypal accepted, credit cards, offered refunds or compensation fortechnical hic ups....(in which tech hic ups are to be expected)

the deafening silence to the roar of complaints on this forum and knc's forum must be cause they are in the bank vault counting $$$hard to keep track of the estimated 100 to 200 million usd they have made in the last year don't ya know

If I knew they were gonna screw us this bad ..I would have expected a little dinner some dancing and some flowers for crying out loud....

I run with 2 cubes without problems (nearly zero rejects, nearly zero hardware errors, and 155 Mh/s). But two faulty cubes. one gives that error above, the other gives "failed to set workstate" and both dump BGFminer within a few minutes.
